This study aimed to investigate the ornamental utilization, two-year growth performance in natural habitat and cultural conditions, generative production methods, morphologic phenologic plant properties of Campanula grandis, which is an endemic species demonstrating potential needs ex-situ conservation cultivation. In addition, germination seeds collected new season was compared with that were ...

Abstract Attractive displays can stimulate sales in the retail setting. With most plants still sold physical outlets, influence of display layout on visual behavior and purchasing is interest to academicians practitioners. Using a within-subjects in-lab experiment eye tracking technology, we explored how cognitive load imposed by horticultural affects attention choice. Display layouts were vari...

The taxonomy of the Metopidae (Ciliophora, Armophorida) remains poorly understood since most of its members have not been studied by modern morphologic and molecular methods. Recent molecular investigations have indicated that the two most species-rich genera, Metopus and Brachonella, are likely nonmonophyletic with at least one well-supported 18S rDNA clade comprised of a species from each of ...

Interactions among the foraging behaviours of co-occurring animal species can impact population and community dynamics; the consequences of interactions between plant and animal foraging behaviours have received less attention. In North American forests, invasions by European earthworms have led to substantial changes in plant community composition. Changes in leaf litter have been identified a...

Chromosome ring formation has been found in a number of difierent genera. In certain species of Oenothera and of Hypericum and in the monotypic genus Rhoeo, all the chromosomes may be united in a single ring or chain a t meiosis. Ring formation is maintained in these plants by a system of balanced lethals. In Datura, Zea, Pisum and Campanula rings of four or more chromosomes have been described...

Many arctic-alpine plant genera have undergone speciation during the Quaternary. The bases for these radiations have been ascribed to geographic isolation, abiotic and biotic differences between populations, and/or hybridization and polyploidization. The Cordilleran Campanula L. (Campanulaceae Juss.), a monophyletic clade of mostly endemic arctic-alpine taxa from western North America, experien...
